Heat affect any enzyme and so pepsin. A temperature about 80 degrees can degarade most of the proteins and pepsin. At this temperature pepsin loose its structure and can not be active after that.

What effect would decreased incubation temperature have on pepsin activity and why?
Pepsin activity would decrease. At a very low temperature pepsin would be inactive.
What is the effect of freezing on water activity?
The water molecules will slow down.
Is effect of pepsin on proteins a chemical reaction?
Yes, it is. Proteins in the presence of pepsin are converted into peptide chains (polypeptides). The reaction is : Proetins→ (In the presence of pepsin-to be written over the arrow) Polypeptides.
Is the optimal pH of trypsin acidic or basic?
The optimum PH of pepsin ranges between 1.0 and 4.0. Pepsin exhibits about 90 percent of the maximum activity and about 35% of the maximum activity.
What is the optimum temperature for pepsin activity in Celsius?
According to Biologists, the optimum temperature for pepsin ranges from 37 degrees Celsius to 42 degrees Celsius which are perfect human body temperatures.
What effect would decrease incubation temperature have on pepsin activity?
Pepsin activity would decrease and at a very low temperature pepsin would be inactive.

Pepsin activity would decrease. At a very low temperature pepsin would be inactive.
What effect would decreased incubation temperatures have on pepsin?
Pepsin activity would decrease and at a very low temperature pepsin would be inactive.
What is the effect of freezing on water activity?
The water molecules will slow down.
Where is pepsin produced What is the effect of pepsin on protein?
Pepsin is produced in the stomach. Pepsin is an enzyme that digests (hydrolyses) proteins into smaller polypeptide molecules.
What happens to the activity of pepsin at High Ph?
it decreases
Effect of HCl on protein digestion by pepsin and starch digestion by sallivary amylase?
pepsin, coca
Is effect of pepsin on proteins a chemical reaction?
Yes, it is. Proteins in the presence of pepsin are converted into peptide chains (polypeptides). The reaction is : Proetins→ (In the presence of pepsin-to be written over the arrow) Polypeptides.
Optimum temperature of pepsin?
The optimum temperature for pepsin is between 30 degrees Celsius and 40 degrees Celsius. Activity has been reported outside of this range.
What would happen to the pepsin if you take an antacid auch as alka seltzer?
Antacids have powerful adsorbent and precipitating effect on pepsin, which can lead to its reduction
Is the optimal pH of trypsin acidic or basic?
The optimum PH of pepsin ranges between 1.0 and 4.0. Pepsin exhibits about 90 percent of the maximum activity and about 35% of the maximum activity.
What happen to the pepsin that enters to the small intestine?
Pepsin becomes inactive when it reaches the small intestine where the pH is between 7 and 9. It functions best when in an acidic environment like the stomach.
